I have recently received some knitting patterns to make a nativity set. I first noticed the beautiful figures on Mrs Nesbitt's Space and instantly fell in love with them. Denise has sent me a copy of the pattern and although I have left it too late to knit all of the nativity in time for this Christmas, I am hoping that I will be able to make Mary and baby Jesus at least. I will definitely have all the figures ready for next year.
For the ambitious, there are instructions for making Mary, Joseph and Jesus, three shepherds, three kings and any amount of little sheep.
Do pay her a visit and see these lovely figures as well as her great blog.

It looks difficult, but so beautiful in the end. Hope you enjoy the activity.
Happy Holidays.
Beautiful, but it looks like a project for an accomplished knitter.
WOw its gorgeous but I agree looks very hard. I found one once on an Esty shop of a nativity the was woolen I loved it. Good luck I hope you finish baby Jesus!
I will be most anxious to see your finished project, even if it has to wait another year!!
My Mother in Law knit this for us nearly 15 years ago - it is as good as ever. She assures me it isn't too difficult! I love it!
You must have an awful lot of patience to knit something a s delicate as that. Good luck with it.

I saw them over at Denise's blog and commented on how beautiful they are. Can't wait to see yours. :)
I kind of like the idea of knitted sheep. After all, the real ones are woolen.
You can knit a nativity? Really? I had no idea. Honestly. Wow. Looks like a lot of work!
I didn't know this was something that could be done. Other people's creativity never ceases to amaze me!
How lovely! Good luck and let's see a picture of progress before Christmas.
What a fun project. Thanks for sharing the link to her blog.
